Observational Study to Investigate Resistant Hypertension Prevalence in Korean General Hospitals (Teveten_RH)

January 14, 2015 updated by: Handok Inc.

Observational Study to Investigate Resistant Hypertension Prevalence Among the Hypertensive Patients Who Have Been Treated in Korean General Hospitals

Study Objectives The study is to identify prevalence, demography and clinical characteristics of patients with resistant hypertension among hypertensive patients who have been treated in general hospitals in Korea from Jan 2012 to Jun 2012.

  • Diagnosis of resistant hypertension: In case of clinic blood pressure exceeding the boundary of systolic blood pressure at 140mmHg and diastolic blood pressure at 90mmHg (hereinafter refer to as 140/90mmHg) (130/80mmHg for patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic renal disease) despite triple antihypertensive therapy at optimal dose may be diagnosed as resistant hypertension. Antihypertensive medications used include diuretics. Resistant hypertension may also be diagnosed when clinic blood pressure has reached the target value but quadruple or more of antihypertensives are used.
  • Diagnosis of controlled hypertension: Patients whose clinic blood pressure equals to 140/90mmHg (130/80mmHg for patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic renal disease) or less with the administration of antihypertensives at optimal dose may be diagnosed as controlled hypertension.

Detailed Description

Primary Objective:

Prevalence in patients with resistant hypertension among hypertensive patients who have been treated in Korean general hospitals

Secondary Objectives:

Analysis of correlation in patients with resistant hypertension and patients with controlled hypertension who received triple antihypertensive therapy in terms of demography, clinical characteristics and other factors

  1. Demographic data (age, sex, and body mass index)

  2. Clinical characteristics

    • Vital signs
    • Lifestyles (history of drinking, smoking, and exercise)
    • Family history (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, renal/adrenal disease, cerebrovascular disease, and respiratory disease)
    • Concurrent diseases (diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, renal/adrenal disease, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease, and others)
    • History of antihypertensive therapy (past and present)
    • Medication compliance of antihypertensives

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Prevalence of resistant hypertension
Time Frame: up to 6 months
Prevalence of resistant hypertension will be estimated, and its 95% confidence interval will be calculated. In addition, proportion of controlled hypertensive patients and its 95% confidence interval will be calculated.
up to 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Analysis of correlation in patients with resistant hypertension and patients with controlled hypertension who received triple antihypertensive therapy in terms of demography, clinical characteristics and other factors
Time Frame: up to 6 months
Clinical characteristics in subjects diagnosed of resistant hypertension and those diagnosed of controlled hypertension will be described in summary.
up to 6 months

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
February 1, 2013

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
